What are these metamaterials? They are substances that have ...
What's interesting here is that this conversational method "what are..." seems perfectly normal in a book, makes the language interesting like it's really a conversation, yet when I'm reading a book and I'm reading facts it's very strange to think of this as a conversation. What are metamaterials does absolutely nothing to tell me what they are, the sentence is pure throw away but yet it feels natural, even in written form.
I think this might be like when somebody calls you up and says "Hello, it's Joe", when we all know that I know it's Joe since the ID on the calls said so. But, if Joe started up right away with the talking, the conversation would be thrown off. Like I'm expecting an announcement of who it is. I wonder if younger kids start off phone calls this way or if they just launch into it since they never had a time before caller ID... (Plot twist, younger kids don't seem to call each other on the phone, they just text. Plus they don't announce who they are at the beginning of the text.)
